Did anyone else see this? ???

Just found out in the last day or so that another historical plane has bit the dust, for no good reason at all.

I was actually hoping on modeling my new HU-16 kit after this plane!

That's sickening. I'd look into who all was on those boards and follow the money. That's what it all boils down to.

Why would you spend all that money just to destroy an artifact? This stinks of politics.

Disgusting. Unfortunately if you look around you'll probably find a lot of displays cant/dont keep up their a/c. Wrecking it though is even worse. So disappointed.

its sad really to see so many of these planes go to the scrap yard for the money the metal is worth. it feels like a constant battle between modelers and the government. :fencing
